Allen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Allen started the previous four games but will take a seat Tuesday after going 1-for-12 with a walk and five strikeouts during that span. Orlando Arcia will step in at shortstop against St. Louis righty Andre Pallante.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Donovan is unavailable Tuesday after a rib popped out of place earlier in the day, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Donovan's availability for Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta is also in question, although Marmol said it's unlikely the super-utility player will require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Nolan Gorman is occupying second base and batting third for St. Louis on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks recalled Barrosa from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

It's the corresponding roster move for Jake McCarthy, who has been optioned to Reno. Barrosa got a cup of coffee last season with the Diamondbacks, going 3-for-17 at the plate in eight games. He will operate as a reserve outfielder in Arizona.

The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

It's the corresponding move for Jordan Wicks, who was optioned to Iowa on Monday. Hollowell had allowed three runs with a 10:3 K:BB over 6.1 frames with Iowa this season. He holds a career 6.00 ERA across 33 big-league appearances.

Vientos (groin) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Vientos sat out the past two contests after exiting Saturday's game due to groin discomfort, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The 25-year-old went 0-for-2 during Saturday's contest, which broke a modest six-game hit streak during which he had an .945 OPS.

Nimmo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Phillies.

It's southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for the Phillies' so the left-handed-hitting Nimmo will be given a day off. Jose Azocar is covering left field and batting ninth for the Mets.

Strider was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring Tuesday, and his return timeline is expected to be determined over the next couple weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

It's an encouraging diagnosis after Strider landed on the injured list Monday, though he still seems set to spend more than the 15-day minimum on the shelf. After recovering from the internal brace procedure he underwent on his elbow last year, the right-hander was able to make just one start in 2025 before suffering the hamstring injury.

Donovan is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

It's the first true day off for Donovan this season, as the first time he wasn't in the lineup came in the first game of a doubleheader. Nolan Gorman is handling second base and batting third for the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Blewett will be Atlanta's opening pitcher Tuesday against the Cardinals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

He's expected to be followed by Nathan Wiles, who will provide bulk relief. It will be the team debut for Blewett, was just acquired via trade from the Orioles on Sunday.

The Cardinals optioned Siani to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

He played sparingly behind starting center fielder Victor Scott, accruing only 17 plate appearances thus far. Siani will play more regularly at Memphis as he waits for another opportunity with the big club.
